Correct answer

  • ANo, porque tiene preferencia.No, because it has priority.
Explanation

Before overtaking, you must make sure that no driver behind you in the same lane has already started to overtake you (Article 84.3 of the General Traffic Regulations). The white vehicle, which is behind you, has priority: you must wait for it to finish.
